- PaulDavisThe1st 4y agoWould it be ok if Paul Krugman did it, though?
- JenrHywy 4y agoWell, at least Krugman would know who he was talking about.
- PheonixPharts 4y agoDisagreeing and dismissing are two very different things. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with even the most respected of experts, history has proven they can be wrong often. Simply ignoring someone because "I don't know who this is" is generally a bad idea, and even more ridiculous when that person does in fact have a well known reputation.
- fauxpause_ 4y agoI’m not dismissing them. I didn’t know who they are. I simply stated that the article is trying to make a claim about seasonal effects by pointing two just two years of data. Which is dumb. Doesn’t matter who does it. I disagree with the rigor of the analysis. I don’t have any strong opinions on the takeaways.
